ENTERTAINMENTS

• HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. At His .Majesty's Theatre "Sure Tiling," (ho bright little revue presented by the 1-11 foil Black Company, is proving to lie precisely what the public want. There is plenty of fun, and a lot of good songs well sung. The tenor singing of Jlr. l'eter Brooks is excellent of its class, arid Jlr. Black scores every ovening iu his comic absurdity, "If You Only 'Ave the 'Art." Alsace and Lorraine present ,a vry attractive musical turn, and Miss Dose Lee Ivy helps along the picture,- J "The Soul of Venii'ti" with narrative and song. Yernoa and Sinclair, Herbert Brookes and the Duckworths also provide j amusing features. ] THE KING'S. i More applause than is usual at a pic- : ture theatre is heard nightly at The • King's Theatre this week, the star picture i "Uncle Tom's Cabin" repeatedly arous- i ing the audience to enthusiasm. It is I undoubtedly'a splendid l picture, with tlie old delightful 6tory -well told, the acting of more than ordinary merit, and the scenery in many place? of great beauty, Both old and young are appreciating this extremely clever work of the World Film Corporation. "The Gazette'' this week is also of great interest, many splendid incidents from over the seas being depicted very clearly. The other pictures shown also meet with appreciation. "THE SEA WOLF." : | At the King's Theatre on Monday night ; next "Unolo Tom's Cabin" gives place ; to. what is described as a marvellous film : version of Jack London's most powerful I and popular work, "The Sea Wolf." This 1 picture, which is over 7000 feet in length, ! has proved a record-breaker wherever shown. In America it caused' somowhat 1 of a sensation, being classed by capable critics.as much better than "Tlio Spoilers," and more complete in every detail than any-picture jet shown on the" screen. Judging by the enormous business done everywhere this' J9 Mo idle .. boast, or merely business "boort." Many remarkable effects are introduced, one being a fight with a man-eating shark, -under water, which, as can easily be imagined, was an exceedingly difficult, as well as dangerous, task. The whole picture is claimed to be a triumph of realism. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. ■ The last two nights are announced of Keystone's great comedy, "Lover's Lost Control," which features Syd. Chaplin and "The Wiles of a Woman," the Bth episode of "The Million Dollar Mystery." Starting Moncfciy a new bill will be shown, when a dramatic picture of great power will be starred. This feature is full of startling surprises. "The Leap From An Ocean Liner" is expected to give ' thrills of pleasure to patrons during the screenings. It is the Bth episode of "The Million Dollar Mystery," and it is easily the best episode screened to date. The Melbourne Cup portrays all the incidents in the Victorian Racing Carnival at Flemington, including s the- crowds on the course, on the hillside, and the Cup is shown from start to finish. ''Billie's Debut" is a rattling good comedy, in which Billio Reeves has a lively , part. "The Highland Milk Industry" elaborately describes the processes in the manufacture of this Dominion necessary industry. "Manufacturing Big Guns," an Edison'industrial, shows every phase of manufacture, from steel ingots to finished article. "Hearts to Let" is a beautiful little playlet of an original nature, and the "Gaumont Graphic" is of eourso always full of interesting scencs. SHORTTS' PICTURES. "The Peace-at-any-l'rico Man," a splen-didlythought-but war picture, 3600 ft. in length is proving a big draw at Short's' 'Theatre. This story concerns a young man who derides the 'thought of serving his country in war time, and who is gradually made to feel tlio ignominy of his position bv being -ostracised by his friends and relatives, and finally by his own family. Driven into the service, he I,roves that he is made of the right stuff uftei A all, and after performing _ deeds _of valour, returns a hero, aglow: with pride . at "finding himself." . . Oil Monday next a new Charlie Chaphn comedy, entitled "Shanghaied#' should fill the theatre with admirers of that cleverest of all picture comedians. 1 EMPRESS THEATRE. ' "Money" is the alluring title of tho star dramatic picture that is being screened at the Empress Theatre. The vivid storv shows the striking social distinctions that prevail in this queer old world of ours. The story is, of'course, exaggerated in some of its features, but that only serves to enhance its dramatic values. The necessary comedy relief is provided in an amusing episode, entitled "When Charlie was Young," whilst a Topical Gazette gives a number of views of interesting events in Europe. '
